Manchester United Transfer News: £34m Arturo Vidal Bid Lined Up

Manchester United's megastore shirt printers have run out of "R"s and they might need few more if anyone wants "Arturo" on the back of their replica. Yes, after Angel di María's transfer is concluded United look set to intensify their pursuit of Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal.

United's keenness in Vidal, despite comments to the contrary, is genuine. Louis van Gaal did (does?) have issues over the Chilean's fitness but he wasn't just spitballing when he name-dropped "Vidal" after United's stultifying stalemate at Sunderland on Sunday.

Juve retain an interest in Javier Hernández, which could prove to be useful for United with James Wilson's emergence. They do have just six days to sign the dominant midfielder and imposing centre-back they desperately need.
